View Ref-File1.6  BUS SLOT                                                     CT60

CT60 is evolutive ! The 060 busses (Data, Add & Control) are present
on two HE13 Male connectors of 2x25 pins, giving a total of 100 pins.

The first add-on card that will be available is a PCI adaptor. This
one will be very performant because of the 060 accesses with 32-bit
wide data at 66 MHz, what is 8 times faster than the slow rate of the
actual or futur (?) Eclipse adaptor connected on the Falcon bus 16-
bit wide at 16 MHz : 66/16 MHz = 4.1 and 32/16 bits = 2. Sure, a new
Eclipse with 32-bit Data & 060 protocol could be a good solution...

And why not a AGP 1x adaptor at 66 MHz...

A PPC card is too possible because the 060 SLOT has MASTER
capabilities, the arbitration with the 060 being already included in
the CT60 logic.

In all case, the software & hardware developers are welcome.
